Life insurance and annuity products are not FDIC insured, not bank guaranteed, and may lose value. Guarantees rest solely on the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability. Coverage is subject to underwriting and is available only where the agent is licensed. Death benefits apply only while the policy is in force and are reduced by any outstanding loan. Tax-free distribution treatment requires that the contract not be a modified endowment contract, that the policy stay in force, and that loans be managed; tax law may change, so consult your own CPA. Caps, participation rates, and spreads are declared by the carrier and may change, and surrender charges apply in the early policy years. Replacing an existing policy or annuity may not be in your best interest and is subject to state replacement regulations. Individual results vary.
